That's all in this long overdrawn day. Two games, two thrillers and plenty more to follow. For now, from all of us out here, ta ta!!

Pollard: I have played enough T20s to know that the game is never over till the end. I think we needed to go a little harder at the start. I have enjoyed the experience of playing in the USA though the crowd could have been a lot better. But that's something that isn't in our control.

Sangakkara: I have seen Polly do that many times. It is just magic watching him and I do not know how he hits sixes with one hand. Not very pleasant though when we are against him. Imad Wasim and Shakib were brilliant. They were helped with some immaculate fielding. McCarthy too did just what we wanted him to do - come in at number three and bat through. I think the run-out of Shoaib Malik too changed things. It was a fantastic spectacle in the United States, given that cricket is pretty new out here.

Andre McCarthy, Man of the Match: I have been hitting the ball well and I am glad I was able to execute it today. I enjoyed batting more than taking that catch of Pollard and loved scoring the runs with Shakib. We were lucky at the end but am glad we went through.

Sanga finally manages a smile. He's been a fussy, chirpy man all through the evening. Take Pollard out of the equation and the chase was a non-starter. In a stay of 33 balls in the middle, he smacked it all around for some serious entertainment as Barbados were kept in the hunt till the very end. Smith scratched around, the others fell like a pack of cards. In the end, it was Shakib's and McCarthy's blitz at the end of the first innings that lifted the Tallawahs to something respectable that proved to be the difference. With that it brings us to the end of the CPL in the United States. Now off to the Caribbean. Wait on, the presentations coming up..

19.6

Santokie to Rampaul, out Caught by Simmons!! Bowled out. Throws the bat out on the swinging slog. Just not close to the line and gets a thick outside edge ballooning up instead. Short third man it is to gobble it up. So, Jamaica celebrate their independence day with a reversal of all sorts - a 12-run loss yesterday to a 12-run win tonight.Rampaul c Simmons b Santokie 3(3)

Santokie to Rampaul, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

19.5

Santokie to Imran Khan, 1 run, slows it up. On the legs and turned away to backward square leg

19.4

Santokie to Imran Khan, 2 runs, moves away, gets his arms freed up and chips it uppishly to sweeper. Only a couple. And only a mathematical chance now

19.3

Santokie to Rampaul, 1 run, a yorker on leg, shoves it down to long-on. 16 in 3 now. Three sixes? A couple of sixes and a four?

19.3

Santokie to Rampaul, wide, way outside the tramline now. Well outside off

19.2

Santokie to Rampaul, 2 runs, full, tailing in. With the wind and airy with the flick. On the bounce to cow corner cleaning up..for a brace

20 in 5. A boundary could help.

19.1

Santokie to Imran Khan, 1 run, into the pitch with the slowed up pace. Cross seamed. Lofted the drive chipping it to long-off

Krishmar Santokie [3.0-0-33-0] is back into the attack

Ravi Rampaul, left handed bat, comes to the crease

18.6

Sami to Pollard, out Caught by Andre McCarthy!! The end of the entertainment. The end of the carnage. A sad end to an innings that dragged this game out of the mouth of defeat to spice it till the very end. Tries a bit of innovation looking to go over short fine with a walking across scoop. Sami follows him with a wide yorker and toe ends it up in the ait to backward point. That in all possibility is the game with it. Pollard c Andre McCarthy b Sami 62(33) [4s-2 6s-6]

Sami to Pollard, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

18.5

Sami to Pollard, 2 runs, the bat turns in his hand, skewing a thick miscue into the off-side. Hangs around in the air for ages allowing Pollard to run back for the second. And a throw on the half volleyb to Sanga too does Jamaica no good

18.4

Sami to Pollard, no run, length again, a touch short of the good one. Pollard loses his shape miscuing it into the off-side. Declines the single

Imran Khan, right handed bat, comes to the crease

18.3

Sami to Riaz, out Caught by Imad Wasim!! Countryman to countryman - no love lost. Just the right length to be bowling to a tailender - on the shorter side. Riaz moves away, typically, and swings through the line, flat batted. A thick outside half of the bat spooning up and backward point has his moment of glory, reverse cupped. Pollard though has the time to cross and get on strike. Riaz c Imad Wasim b Sami 1(2)

Sami to Riaz, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

18.2

Sami to Pollard, 1 run, straight to mid-wicket, whipping the low full toss. Only the single

18.1

Sami to Riaz, 1 run, not a bad result if you are a Trident. Does his bit of getting Pollard back on strike. Courtesy an ugly outside edge on the pull down to third man

Mohammad Sami [3.0-0-9-2] is back into the attack

17.6

Shakib to Pollard, SIX, such ease. Hasan continues keeping it full and Pollard continues leveraging his biceps. Inside-out now but with the straightest of bats in tonking it down the ground

Wahab Riaz, right handed bat, comes to the crease

17.5

Shakib to Parnell, out Caught by Jonathan Foo!! A juicy full toss. After the carnage on some pretty good deliveries, a heap of nothing bags him a wicket. Parnell clears his leg and swivels in a smack, only to cow corner and Foo is back in action. The game turns again, ever so slowly. Parnell c Jonathan Foo b Shakib 1(2)

Shakib to Parnell, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

17.4

Shakib to Pollard, 1 run, pulls the length back, slows it up too. A loss in shape as Pollard slams it to mid-wicket

17.3

Shakib to Pollard, SIX, a thunderbolt down the ground now. Powell goes for another of his one-handed stunners, but enough momentum on this one as it takes him with it into the fence

17.2

Shakib to Pollard, FOUR, loads up, stands and fires. Hasan tries to bowl that wide length, but is just not full enough. Allows Pollard to get under it and his full bat swing in place as he flashes it through the off-side to bisect extra cover and long-off

17.1

Shakib to Parnell, 1 run, isn't afraid to give it some air. Slogged away on the bounce to a running in mid-wicket

Shakib now into his final over. 43 needed off 18..make or break time

16.6

Kesrick Williams to Pollard, 2 runs, reaches out. Flat batted as he inside halves it without any timing into the on-side. Bad enough to get 'only' a couple

16.5

Kesrick Williams to Pollard, no run, a grunt let out, to disguise in the slower yorker. Between an angry flashy bat and the pad

16.4

Kesrick Williams to Pollard, SIX, into the sky, with all the air miles as it flows into the grass banks this time. Length, juciy length and leg-sidish with the angle. Fetched, picked up and packaged with an airy flick. The wind then takes over

16.3

Kesrick Williams to Pollard, 2 runs, another slower bouncer. This time Pollard spots and latches onto it. With the wind and McCarthy now in the scheme of things diving at deep square leg and cutting it off

16.2

Kesrick Williams to Pollard, no run, the slower ball bouncer. Pollard early on it misses. Gold dust dots these

Wayne Parnell, left handed bat, comes to the crease

16.1

Kesrick Williams to Barnwell, out Caught by Jonathan Foo!! Slower ball outside off, Barnwell fetches it from outside off and swings across the line. For a moment, I thought he had enough wood to clear the fence. But no, Foo at deep mid-wicket, who initially slightly misjudged, jumped and caught it above his head. Barnwell c Jonathan Foo b Kesrick Williams 13(16)

Kesrick Williams to Barnwell, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

Kesrick Williams [3.0-0-30-0] is back into the attack

15.6

Shakib to Barnwell, 1 run, lines up and slaps it to long-on. Powell once again in the action keeping it only to a single

15.5

Shakib to Pollard, 1 run, sliced away carving it, powering it rather down the ground

15.4

Shakib to Pollard, no run, short again. Just not allowing Pollard to go down. A mistimed slap

15.3

Shakib to Barnwell, 1 run, almost a stunner. On the boundary line and ends up plucking out a peach. Barnwell goes deep inside the crease to mow one down the ground, but Powell at the fence at different ideas. He leaps up, left handed and sticks his hand up, realizes he was going to fall over and keeps it in play

15.2

Shakib to Pollard, 1 run, an airy pull. Not quite in control of it as he hammers it to long-on

Five overs - 58 runs. Nothing scary about the required run-rate when Pollard is out there. He's pulled it to the 11s from the 13s

15.1

Shakib to Barnwell, 1 run, heaved away across the line. A thick inside edge down to short fine

Five overs - 58 runs. Nothing scary about the required run-rate when Pollard is out there. He's pulled it to the 11s from the 13s

Shakib Al Hasan [2.0-0-5-0] is back into the attack

14.6

Santokie to Barnwell, 1 run, make the run count 22. A low full toss on the legs to end as Barnwell keeps the strike with a flick behind square

14.6

Santokie to Barnwell, wide, another loss in radar. Way outside off, the pressure

14.5

Santokie to Barnwell, no run, keeps him on strike. Tight length delivery on middle. Pushed back

14.4

Santokie to Pollard, 1 run, gets away with one down leg. Pollard reaches out and an inch on either side of short fine would've meant another boundary

14.3

Santokie to Pollard, SIX, damages the sightscreen. Santokie trying to find that yorker length, misses it yet again and Pollard, in the high backlift mode plunders it down the ground

14.2

Santokie to Pollard, SIX, a one-handed punish. Why do you even need two when you have the power to dispatch it into the stands. A juicy length delivery in the slot and a tennis-forehand to smash it over cow corner

14.2

Santokie to Pollard, 5 wides, another horror in the line. Sanga fails to clean up behind too, blinded by the line slipping well down leg. A bad bounce too as it leaks some vital extras

14.1

Santokie to Barnwell, 1 run, 100kph, slows it up on middle keeping it on a good length. A touch with the closed bat to nudge it to square leg

14.1

Santokie to Barnwell, wide, a slipper. Warms up with one cutting the line of the pitch. Well outside off

Krishmar Santokie [2.0-0-11-0] is back into the attack

13.6

Imad Wasim to Barnwell, 1 run, a forward lean to push it to long-on. An effective way to see out what has been a super spell from Imad: 4-0-20-1

13.5

Imad Wasim to Pollard, 1 run, closes the bat face, using the line down leg to clip it around the corner

13.4

Imad Wasim to Barnwell, 1 run, some air. Inside-edging it beside the pitch and stealing one through

Imad Wasim to Barnwell, 2 runs, deft. Takes it through the cordon with the softest of dabs

12.6

Kesrick Williams to Pollard, SIX, smoked this time. Just the sound in this one deserved a maximum. Inherits the line with the front foot clearing out of the way and unleashes a full swing of the arms. Straight down

12.5

Kesrick Williams to Pollard, FOUR, plundered down. Brings out the murderous instincts as he drags a wide half volley to drill it down the ground. And to imagine he hadn't even timed this one

12.4

Kesrick Williams to Pollard, no run, in the blockhole. All Pollard can do with this is jam it out

12.3

Kesrick Williams to Barnwell, 1 run, another slower tease outside off. Opens up his defence in guiding it into the off-side

12.2

Kesrick Williams to Barnwell, 2 runs, slower sucker delivery on the stumps. Spotted and takes some more pace off it with his flick, grants him the time to get back for the second

12.1

Kesrick Williams to Pollard, 1 run, a full-blooded pull off the front foot. On the bounce to a deep cow corner

Kesrick Williams [2.0-0-16-0] is back into the attack

11.6

Imad Wasim to Barnwell, no run, trusts the spin, one that isn't there. Defends off the inside edge as a result. The screw tightens around the Tridents

11.5

Imad Wasim to Barnwell, no run, some air for a change. Barnwell reaches out, presses forward and checks his defence to cover

11.4

Imad Wasim to Barnwell, no run, full on middle shoulders arms it dips down. Flicked away to a short mid-wicket

11.4

Imad Wasim to Barnwell, wide, quickened up, slipping down though with the angle

Imad Wasim to Pollard, no run, pinned right in front. Was there a nick? That's the only thing that could've saved Pollard here. Misses the slider and is struck right on the front pad in front of middle. nah, nothing on the edge. Sanga is livid. A real goofer this

Imad Wasim [2.0-0-11-1] is back into the attack

Christopher Barnwell, right handed bat, comes to the crease

10.6

Sami to Pooran, out Bowled!! Chops it on. The bails continue to light up the sky. None of the heroics from Nicholas Pooran tonight bagging himself a first ball big fat duck. Sami goes cross seamed, bangs it into the turf, Pooran meanwhile is on a charge down the ground expecting the ball to kick up as he goes through with a front footed pull. Doesn't. Stays low, skidding under the bat but not without taking the inside edge and making a mess of the stumps. Pooran b Sami 0(1)

Sami to Pooran, THAT'S OUT!! Bowled!!

10.5

Sami to Pollard, 1 run, full on middle with a hint of tail coming back in. Calls for a brace after clipping it to mid-wicket, settles for the single. The last thing Barbados need at the moment is another run-out

Nicholas Pooran, left handed bat, comes to the crease

10.4

Sami to Dwayne Smith, out Caught by Rovman Powell!! Was only a matter of time. A troubled, testing innings comes to a close. Sami spots Smith making room for himself and follows him in. Chipped uppishly in the air without much of control as the ball is gobbled down by mid-wicket. Dwayne Smith c Rovman Powell b Sami 21(31) [4s-2]

Sami to Dwayne Smith, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

10.3

Sami to Dwayne Smith, no run, yes-no-yes and the a final no. After a push to mid-off. Pollard has to cover the greater distance

10.2

Sami to Pollard, 1 run, jumps up and fends it away around the corner

10.1

Sami to Pollard, no run, a massive shout. Nipping in with the wide of the crease angle and pins Pollard in front of leg as he misses the flick. Slipping down perhaps with the angle

9.6

Shakib to Pollard, 1 run, an opened up forward defence in steering it to point and running across for a quick single

Kieron Pollard, right handed bat, comes to the crease

9.1

Shakib to Akeal Hosein, out Akeal Hosein Run Out!! A direct hit again. And Imad Wasim, standing in line with the stumps has a nice view and has his fist pump ready in celebration even before the umpire decides to take matters upstairs. The Tridents are running themselves out here. Was a squirt off the outside half of the bat to point and puts his head down to run across. Sami, cleans up and inflicts a flat direct chuck at the non-striker's. Yup, well short. Some ball watching delays his departure and hence the landing. Akeal Hosein run out (Sami) 12(14)

Shakib to Akeal Hosein, THAT'S OUT!! Run Out!!

107 needed off 66.

8.6

8.4

Kesrick Williams to Dwayne Smith, 1 run, short again. Heaved away in front of square this time

8.3

Kesrick Williams to Dwayne Smith, FOUR, now connects with the short arm jab. All one-legged. And Santokie, at least 10 yards inside the backward square leg fence is in no position to go behind as the wind carries the ball over him

8.2

Kesrick Williams to Dwayne Smith, no run, flush on the ribs. Oh that's a nice tickle. Smith once again is early on his short arm jab, the ribs are in the way though in time

6.5

6.1

Sami to Akeal Hosein, no run, slants it across, staying a touch low as well as Hosein misses his dab

5.6

Kesrick Williams to Dwayne Smith, FOUR, so very Dwayne Smith. Spots the shorter length and is quickly up on a knee to swat it away behind square. A one-bounced roll into the fence

Kesrick Williams to Akeal Hosein, 1 run, another slower one. Well read waiting on it to soft hand the prod to mid-off for a quick sneak

5.3

Akeal Hosein, left handed bat, comes to the crease

4.3

Sami to Shoaib Malik, out Shoaib Malik Run Out!! Oh trouble. Malik has his starting troubles, is slow off the blocks to start off looking for the single. The only thing that could've saved him was a wayward throw. This one was bang on target and blows off the stumps at the non-striker's. Started off with a ramped run down to point, who charges to the ball, swoops down, collects and fires it in the same motion. Malik was on a long way around to avoid colliding with Sami standing in the middle of the pitch as well. Shoaib Malik run out (Mathurin) 8(10) [4s-1]

Sami to Shoaib Malik, THAT'S OUT!! Run Out!!

4.2

3.5

Imad Wasim to Shoaib Malik, 1 run, tucked away, off the hips using the angle

3.4

Imad Wasim to Shoaib Malik, FOUR, pick up. And dispatch. All too easy as he toys around with his countryman. Races down the track, away as well to give his arms the breathing space and goes inside-out with his loft. Over mid-off and enough bat to clear him and the fence

3.3

Imad Wasim to Dwayne Smith, 1 run, covers his stumps with the wafty bat coming down in punching it to mid-off

3.2

Imad Wasim to Shoaib Malik, 1 run, runs down, yorks himself and hammers it to long-off

2.2

Santokie to Shoaib Malik, no run, rip-roaring yorker. Cannot do too much about it. Settles to dig it out

Imad Wasim to Williamson, out Bowled!! Cleaned up. A massive strike first up. A little bit quicker, pushing it through flatter and Williamson ends up playing down the wrong line. Very tentative poking the bat out as the in-seamer goes straight on with the arm and past the defence to make a mess of the stumps. None of KW's anchored innings tonight. Williamson b Imad Wasim 7(5) [4s-1]

1.2

Imad Wasim to Dwayne Smith, 1 run, reaches forward in covering the line to tuck it around the corner

1.1

Imad Wasim to Dwayne Smith, no run, drifting in and then gripping the surface to go away. A leading edge off the splice of sorts

Imad Wasim, left-arm orthodox, comes into the attack

0.6

Santokie to Williamson, 2 runs, a fumble. The sloppy fielding seems to have seemed into the Jamaicans as well. A walking flick from Williamson to mid-wicket and just when he seems settled for a single, the ball goes under his one-handed pick up

0.5

Santokie to Williamson, FOUR, loses the radar. Way outside off and this one doesn't swing. The only thing that does is the bat as Williamson drills the drive through the covers

0.4

0.3

Santokie to Dwayne Smith, 1 run, once again keeping it full and on middle. Smith does well to get his leg out of the way this time as he whips it through mid-wicket

0.2

Santokie to Dwayne Smith, no run, more swing. Late as it veers back in to keep Smith honest. And he does so with a forward defence

0.1

Santokie to Dwayne Smith, no run, swing. A perfect one to start. Right up there on middle as Smith jams it into his foot

Dwayne Smith and Williamson are at the crease. Dwayne Smith is on strike. Santokie will open the attack

Back live. Everything set up for yet another photo finish moment. A perfect combo of elegance and brute at the top for Barbados. Here we go..

16:46 Local Time, 20:46 GMT, 02:16 IST: Jamaica post 154 after opting to bat. That's a very good score on this pitch. After losing Sangakkara in the second over, Simmons and McCarthy put on a fifty-run stand for the second wicket. At the halfway stage, JT were 65-1. That's when Whab Riaz came and bowled a brilliant over - a triple wicket maiden. However, that didn't dent the Tallawahs' confidence. Macarthy notched up his half-ton and Shakib played a good little innings in the end. Join us back for the chase.

Parnell to Andre McCarthy, out Caught by Imran Khan!! Length ball and Andre McCarthy decides to go downtown. He doesn't get it anywhere close to the middle of the bat and the ball goes miles up in the air. Doesn't even clear the 30-yard circle. Khan, at cover, settled under it and gathered it calmly with both hands. It was the slower ball from Wayne Parnell. Andre McCarthy c Imran Khan b Parnell 60(44) [4s-3 6s-3]

16.3

Hello! A warm welcome to today's second match. It's Jamaica Tallawahs vs Barbados Tridents. Have the Tallawahs recovered from the defeat they received yesterday at the hands of Barbados? We'll get to know in a while. The Tridents defended a par-score of 142 despite Simmons's fifty. Sangakkara will hope for a better performance from his teammates today against the same opponents. The par-score continues to be 130-140 on this track. Carlos Brathwaite defended 8 off the final over in the earlier game which turned out to be a thriller. Another one the cards? Toss and team updates coming your way in a short while.
